A.4,...,,,,,,,11,7•4- • - ;.~`„~„~ Our ' announced the aWful event, had been exemplary, and had evidently a powerful influence upon the female sex through out the. British dominions. As the Consort of Our revered Monarch, she was a pattern of do mestic virtue and affection. The firmness of his Majesty's character, his excellent understand ing, sound constitutional princiPles, and at tachment to the Protestant Faith, rendered it improbable that his august Consort should ever have interfered in State Affairs ; and though she was naturally exposed to the attacks of Party, she never was licensed of having taken any share in politiCaLtransactions. Even JUNIUS, who at tacked the Court with so much rancour, and who was not likely to have spared arty branch of the Royal Family, is whollysilent as to her except where he severely rebukes the late Duke of GRAtrox, the Prime Minister at that time, for having led his Mistress through the Opera- Ilouse, in the presence of the QUEEN. This re buke proves the high sense which that popular Writer entertained of the pithy of her c‘TAJES TY.S Character, and of the decorum which ought have been observed in her presence. We need only refer to all the female branches of the Royal Family, to evince the advan'age which they Must have derived from maternal example.—More anti able and more accomplished females cannot be found in any quarter of the wot Id, and the whole of their conduct through life is a full and most ho nourable testimony in tavour of their illustrious Mo ther. It has been too muc h t h e custom among those not sufficiently acquainted with the real character of her MAJESTY, or who were influenced, by vulgar prejudices and the rancour of Party, to impute to her a degree of prudence bordering on avarice ; but if they could know the innumerable applications which are made to people in power, and the more elevated the station the more frequent and extensive are those applications, they would not so much wonder that many without sufficient pretensions should have been disappointed, as that so many should experience benevolence and patronage. There is every reason to believe that her MAJESTY was at all times disposed to assist distress, and to patronize talents. One circumstance at. tending her domestic conduct is particularly entitled to notice. In all the attack§ upon :he Royal Family, which the freedom of the Press in this country may be expected to produce, it has never been hinted - that there was the slightest interruption of that connubial affection and harmony which is too seldom found in the domestic circles of private life. On the con trary, theirMajestieS have al ways been held forth as striking examples of conjugal concord and tender ness. We 'could say much more on this subject, but cannot conclude without observing, that, in a com parison between her MAJtsTy and ;:all her Illus trious Predecessors in this Country of the same rank, it may be fairly asserted, that, in the virtues of private life, there hardly ever was her equal, and certainly never her superior. In consequence of the demise of her MAJESTY, the Queen's Council have assembled at the Trea sury Chambers, Whitehall, where they are now sitting, and likely to continue some time, in de. liberation. Amongst the Members present are, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LONDON, Lord ST. HELEN'S, and Sir W. SCOTT. Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's a Buenos Ayres, dated Ist Sept. • " The Trinidad transport, one of the Expedi tion from Cadiz to Lima; is arrived at Ensinada ; the troops on board, headed by a Lieutenant, having mutinied-, and killed five or six of the Officers; and, put in there to join the Patriots. They state, that two other vessels of the Expedi tion, being eptally discontented, intended going into Valparaiso. One of the convoy had parted some days previous to the Trinidad, and they ex pected to have seen her On their arrival at Ensi nada.--.-The Expedition altogether is represented to be in a very miserable condition." The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have not arrived. New York Papers to the 24th ult. arrived this day. nom LAGUIRA.—We learn from Capt. HARDEN, of the brig Warrior, who arrived here last eve!). ing, in 20 days, from Laguira, that a few days before be sailed several Patriotic privateers made an attack upon the town, which they bombarded during the whole night, but were repulsed with a considerable loss. (Prom the Commercial Advertiser, Oct. 19) SECRETARY OF TUE NAVY.—A letter, dated at Washington on the 15111 inst., is published in the Baltimore Patriot of Friday, giving it as the prevailing opinion at the seat of Government, that his Honour CADWALLADER D. COLDEN, Mayor of this city, will be selected by the Presi dent as successor to Mr. CRowNiNsmEtti, at the head of the Navy Departthent. The letter adds, that " his appointment would be hailed with Measure by the Officers of the Navy generally ;" and that " a confident expectation is eiltertained that he will be selected." (Front Me same Paper, Oct. 16.) GENERAL JACKSON'S DISPATCHES —lt is stated in The Savannah Republican, of the (ich inst. that the Dispatches from Gen. JACKSON, in relation to his Indian campaign, the capture of Pensacola, and the trial of ARBUTHNOT and AMERISTER, which were put into the Post Office at Fort Hawkins, and directed to the Secretary of War ; and Which, as they did not reach the Secretary, were supposed to . he lost ; were at last found in the land office at Washington. It appears that they reached the seat of Government in due sea son, and were carelessly conveyed to the wrong department, where they remained undiscovered, for more titan two months. Our ReaderS will find in another 'part of our Paper a Report of the Meeting which took place at the Crown-and-Anchor yesterday, on ac count of the unfortunate vacancy i►i the Par liamentary representation of Westminster.— Sir FRANCIS BURDETT affected to be im partial in his conduct as Chairman, limit it is evident that he was the mere Partizan of Mr. HoBHoUsE.— One of the most extraordinary events of this meeting was the re-appearance of Citizen THELwALL on the political stage. It might he expected that his narrow escape in 1794, among those whom the late Mr. WINDHAM characterized as " ACQUITTED FELONS," would have cured hith of all his Party feelings, but " what's bred in the bone," &c.—like the Dog in the adage, this man returns to the filth which formerly he cast forth. But the ground of faction is sufficiently occupied, and his talents are too poor, however they may be estimated by his own self-conceit, to render him at all worthy of public attention. It is well for him that he has kept his political feel ings and principles in the back ground for so many years, for otherwise it is probable that he would have been intrusted with few Pupils, lest when he was attempting to make them speak, he should have taught them to utter language by no means calculated to prove them quiet Citizens and good Subjects, under the best political system that any country ever possessed, and which the infa , - mous tribe of Jacobins are st: anxious to destroy. The following- formidable menace appears in The Morning Chronicle of this day. We know not what public Journal is to be the victim of the terrible vengeance thus announced, hut we again affirm that its account of the arrest of Baron GOURGAUD was, throughout, -a gross and infamous misreprcsen lion, obviously intended to bring disgrace tin Government. We - know not whether we are destined on this occasion to share with The Courier in the honour of being abused by The Chronicle, but we can assure it, that if so, its complimentary hostility shall not pass without our grateful acknowledgments. We regret that we are prevented, by our want of room, from noticing this day the illiberal strictures which our ac count of the treatment of General GouRGAUD has called forth from a venal Press. We shall enter into an examination of them in our Paper of to-morrow." Lord GARVAGIi, whose elevation to the Peer age has been announced in The Dublin Gazette, is first cousin to the Right Hon. (3-entice CANNING, who is head of the elder branch of the GaaVAGn Family. Accounts have been received from New South Wales to the IGrh May last, at which time the Colony was in the most flourishing state. The ships Batavia, Lady Castlereagh, Minerva, Guild ford, and Neptune, had arrived at Port Jackson with convicts, all in the best state of health and dis• . ne. Letters from Ajaccio, in Corsica, of the 22d Oct. state, that the Governor of Leghorn has appriz ed the Superior Commission of Health, in Cor sica, that according to official intelligence which he 'received, the plague has broken out attain at Bona, Constantine, and Tunis, and that the coral fishers coming from the coasts of Africa should not pet form their quarantine but in the Lazaretto Harboui,where there are establishments proper for the purgation of the property they may have on hoard. Orders have been issued to the several bureaux of health in the Island of Corsica for the adoption of precautionary measures. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, we are happy to hear, was somewhat better yesterday. CHARTERHOUSR SCHOOL—We regret to state that the same spirit of insubordination, which of late manifested itself in some of the first public schools in the kingdom, has burst forth with almost unprecedented fury among the young Gentlemen at the Charterhouse. We are nut thoroughly acquainted with the cause of this . most alarming uproar, but believe that a general discontent, arising from supposed encroachments on the old privileges of the scholars, has for some time past pervaded the whole assembly. All the partieulai•s have not yet transpired, but we have since learnt that it has terminated in the expul sion of six Seniors.----(Morning Post.) The ilst (Hi g hl and Light Infantry), the 79 h, and 91st re g i ments, after landing from France, were under i mme di ate orders for Seothad- They have since b een countermanded.

Oats were also brisk in sale, and fine samples obtained Is. more than on Monday. In Beans and Pease there is no alteration. PRISONERS IN TUE MARSIIAi.SEA, reff rence to a Police Report from Union Hall, re specting the allowance to King's Bench Prisoners for debt, under the Stat, of 53 Geo. 111. which appeared in the Papers of yesterday, we have re ceived the following explanation :—ln consequence of the great increase in the number of prisoners confined in the King's . Bench and Marshalsea, it was found that the sums allowed by the Act 'were inadequate to the payment of sixpence per diem to each of the prisoners, and information ió that effect was comMunicated to the Magistrates of the County of &trey. On the I 4th July last, the subject was taken into consideration at the Quarter Sesiont, at Guildford, and pursuant to the power vested in the MagistrateS, an (Wo of COurt was then made, whereby the allowance was reduced from sixpence to fourpence per diem, and such Order will remain in . foece Until altered or rescinded by the same authority. ELOPPMENT--Late on Ptiday night last, aO, young lady, daughter of a respectable inhabitant, eloped from Tewkesbury, in a post-eltal3e, with a young widower (one of her father's servants,who bu r i e d his wife only a tew Weeks since), on a ma trimonial excursion ; but the news having reached the father's ears after he had retired to rest, he arose and pursued them with such alacrity in a chaise an'! four, that he overtook them at Wor- cester, and brought the fugitive back to her ta., , mile the next morning. • -.4 DISTRESSING CASE.—A poor - discharged soldier, named Gaily, very recently arrived in town from America, not being able to procure employment, had been compelled to send his daughter out, to sell a• little fruit. On Saturday morning last she left home in Oxford buildings, as usual, and has not since been heard of by her distracted father and mother. She is about 12 years old, rather tall of her ages and a native of New Brunswick. What increases the calamity of the poor people is their inability to avail themselves of the usual means of endeavouring to discover their lost child. AN EARTHQUAKE.—A smart shock of an earth quake was felt in this place, and to a consid, rable distance round the town, at about 20 minutes past twelve, on Tuesday night. \ We have not yet learned how. far it may have extended ; but we understand that it was felt with peculiar vio lence along the banks of Loch Ness. The noise seems to have been greater or less according to local circumstances ; in some places it was very loud, in others. more gentle, but every where a tremulous motion was, for a few seconds, com municated to moveables. The night was uncom monly serene, with clear moonlight ; and while not a breath of wind was stirring on the surface of the ground, in the higher regions of the at mosphere, the clouds were driving rapidly from smith to north. Lighter shocks are said to have been felt at ninein the evening of Tuesday, andi at four in the morning of Weduesday. We have heard of no accident or damage from this visita tion.---(lnverness Courier.) On Saturday, a most melancholy circumstance occurred at Dover, to a young man by the name hof John Stewart. About eight o'clock he left his work, as tallow-chandler,. And was observed by rkvO children running along the beach towards :1 Haydn'', and when nearly opposite he ran in the sea and was drowned. The children came to the boatmen and gave the - alarm, who immediately. hastened to the spot, and took the body out of the miter, but, alas ! the vital spark had fled.— He was - a sober, steady lad, much respected by i: 1 ; his master, Mr. T. Reynolds, in whose service he had been several years. The young women? who was to have been his wife, was informed of the circumstance in the market, whilst purchasing at tides for the wedding dinner, which was to nave taken place on the following - day.—A Coro ners Inquest was held on the body, who gave a verdict of---Mental - Derangemcht.
